The little girl's plight was enough to melt the hardest of hearts. Four-year-old Bru Ahmadi was living with her father in that squalid refugee camp near Calais known as The Jungle. ...

Reza had not fled Afghanistan as a refugee from the Taliban. He had moved to Iran as a child and had been living with Goli, Bru and their new-born daughter Baran in a rented flat in the capital Tehran. There was no baby son.

Then, without warning, he disappeared with Bru, then aged three. Not because his life was under threat; he abandoned Goli and Baran simply because he wanted a different, better living in the UK. Relatives already there had done well financially.
